Arduino boards are very cool little system boards that let you do all sorts of cool electronics tricks by adding a few sensors and writing some code on your PC or Mac. Now theere is the Adruino Nano, a board that packs in the power of the Arduino Diecimila into something the size of a stick of gum.

The board is based on the ATmega168 and has 16 I/O pits, 6 analog inputs, a USB jack, and most of that means nothing to me since I stopped building my on electronics when I realized resistors came in multiple colors. My buddy Paul is really great at this stuff so maybe I’ll have him make me a tele-dildonics kit.

Arduino is little open source circuit board that lets you create some fairly compelling projects with a few lines of code and some circuit boards. The latest addition to the project is LiquidWare’s TouchShield, an sensitive OLED that sits on top of the main board. Here it interacts with its human subject.
